The current Mets isn't short for anything they are just called the Mets.
Back in the day, before 1900, there was a pro baseball team in NY called the Metropolitan Baseball Club of New York.
The current 'Mets' is just a homage to that team, though it is not short for Metropolitans, as many think.
Good to know.
I just wiki'd the Mets and interestingly enuff, they almost went with "skyliners" as their name. The NY Skyliners. Has a nice ring to it.
That isn't bad. Though now it just seems like a ABA basketball team name, than a baseball team name.Quote:
